similar to: getting the timezone name from an abbreviation

Is it possible to get timezone abbreviations using the TimeZone or TzinfoTimezone classes? Even after converting UTC to localtime it still reports the timezone abbreviation as UTC. Example: >> @tz = TzinfoTimezone.us_zones[2] => #<TzinfoTimezone:0x30868a0 @utc_offset=-28800, @name="Pacific Time (US & Canada)"> >> @tz.now => Wed Jan 24 12:36:56 UTC 2007

Instead, I go back to the TOP of the index not the place where I clicked on the "show"

When I do the date +%Z I get the timezone. Which currently is EDT. I am sending information to another system, that says EDT is not a valid timezone. I have no way to modify the other system. My question is - is there a way to get the non-day-lite savings time zone ? For example EST is valid - EDT is not. Just curious if there is an easy way already present to get a standard time zone. Thanks,

There''s got to be an easier way... I am building an event manager and as part of it, the user selects the time zone of the event from a drop-down list using the time_zone_select helper. This is stored in the events table as a string. Because of legacy data which is stored in UTC, I want to keep the dates and times in the table as UTC but when I display it, I want to show the abbreviated
